i agree with silentdancer about the RT615's....good price with serious grip...
yea, but theyre not available in the proper 16" sizes...

whatever its worth, im getting excellant dry grip on Toyo T1-R's... they dont feel any less grippy than OEM S0-2's (negligible if anything) and i was pleasantly surprised at their relative grip since i just came out of RA-1's...

for 17's and up.. azenis should be bang of the buck.

16's.. if you want daily driving/canyon, toyo t1r's since you can run the 205/245 setup.. i've tried es100's and found the sidewalls to be wayyy to soft. soft sidewall with our car's numb steering just makes it... number. jmo.

although i haven't tried the MX's, but it doesn't come in the proper size.

I like my hankook ventus rs-II. Check into those and see if they're what you're lookin for.

BearNVa,

You can go with 225/45R17 fornt and 255/40R17 just fine on the factory wheels. As far as the specific tire goes it would depend on what you are looking for. For longer tread life and good handling I like the Bridgestone RE750. I used them on a 3 Series that I tracked for fun and for street and they were very good in both conditions.
If I can help let me know.
